BRYANT -- An Ohio man hopes to bring almost 2 million chickens and about 35 jobs to eastern Jay County.

Keith Boeckman of Hoosier Pride Farms has applied for a permit through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for a six-barn confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) at Ind. 67 and Jay County Road 850-E, near the state line.
